Can You Answer The Africa Question That Just Decided The National Geographic Bee?

Fourteen-year-old Akhil Rekulapelli from Virginia just won the National Geographic Bee by answering this question:

Oyala, a planned city located in the rainforest 65 miles east of Bata, is being built as a capital for which African country?

The answer is Equatorial Guinea.

Oyala, the future capital, will replace Malaba. It's Africa's largest construction project ever. Within a decade, the new city hopes to house the government, including President Teodoro Obiang - who dreamed up the project - and 200,000 people, according to BBC.

But right now, it's just a giant glass dome and a six-lane highway in the middle of the Rain Forest. The former will eventually be the center of campus for the International University of Central Africa. The latter will provide access to a luxury hotel, with 450-rooms, slowly taking shape, as well.

Each year, students in grades four through eight under the age of 15 across the world have a chance to compete in the National Geographic Bee. This year, the winner earned $50,000 to put toward his education.

The competition is meant to encourage more schools to incorporate geography into their classrooms.
